The people on my mind today: Josephine Butler, Walter Fauntroy, Hilda Mason, Julius Hobson, and the many other trailblazers of the statehood movement. May they rest in power. #DCstatehood #DCStatehoodNow

Yesterday, JLG team got to work and put up election signs all across DC ahead of in-person early voting.

And this morning at Turkey Thicket…

@EricRSammons Slight topic change, but didn’t Pope John XXIII’s Pacem in Terris already reevaluate just war theory in light of modern weaponry? Like…this isn’t really that new? Maybe I’m missing something.

[Zachary Parker @ZacharyforWard5]

You’re kidding yourself if you really think a curfew is what we need now when you’re cutting the services that give young people better options in the first place.

Like, let’s be serious.

[Zachary Parker @ZacharyforWard5]

Election Day is just two weeks away.

I’m supporting @Janeese4DC because she has the vision and will to challenge what's not working to move DC forward. I joined my friend in Ward 5 yesterday to make that case.

Join me in voting for progress on Election Day.

[Janeese Lewis George @Janeese4DC]

I’m so grateful to have the endorsement of my colleague and friend, @CMZParker5.

The best weather source in the DMV @capitalweather now has its own app, site and the daily weather forecast email has returned (thank God!) Be sure to support them and get a subscription. https://t.co/2ayYm9nmYl

Capital Weather Gang, the weather blog that has been a part of the Washington Post for almost 20 years, is becoming an independent site and rebranding as Capital Weather.

Per a note to WaPo staff today, the site will still contribute to WaPo during major weather events.

There are right and wrong answers here. And I just want to point out that Andrene's is 100% the right answer.

The Pope is writing for the ages, not the immediate news cycle.

It’s fine to skip all analysis until you’ve had the chance to read it yourself at leisure and discuss it with friends and family.

[JD Flynn @jdflynn]

“ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes; it must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it.” - Pope Leo XIV

Amen!

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

@AlexCTaliadoros hahaha I’m really so tickled by all this. As one of Metro’s biggest fans, I’m delighted this is how my boys made it into the news 😂

[Randy Clarke @wmataGM]

I’ll play along again. Some valid points but cherry picking data without context.

1. Berlin system is diff than Metro…we are a subway-commuted combo, need to combine their systems.
2. Gas prices in Germany ~$7.70/gallon
3. $3B Nationally subsided fares for a $49/month
4.etc

[Emma Uber @EmmaUber7]

I spoke with the @wmata bus driver who saved a kid's band recital yesterday when he personally returned a trumpet that had been left on the bus. More about this heartwarming story here:

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

we really, really love to see it 👏🏼

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

.@maggiepenman found the bus driver (!!) and talked to him (and my boys) for this delightful story 🥲

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

I have a beautiful @wmata story to tell.

My three sons take Metrobus to and from school together every day. Yesterday, one of them left his trumpet on the bus when getting off at home. Of course, tonight he has a band concert...🧵

[Emma Uber @EmmaUber7]

I tracked down the @wmata bus operator behind this heartwarming good deed! @CityCast_DC interview here:

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

Realizing I said “flash forward” and not “fast forward,” and so it is that the VCR-less generation is not without its victims 😔

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

Flash forward to a couple hours later this morning: I get a call from my child's school. A Metrobus operator had dropped a trumpet off at the school during his day off. He recognized my boys (because they ride all the time) & their uniforms, so he knew which school to bring it to

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

@johnson4b06 Good news! https://t.co/oqOGa6tR8f

[Randy Clarke @wmataGM]

Thx you Melissa for sharing this heartwarming story highlighting one of our amazing Metro team members. So happy to hear the trumpet got returned to make the concert!

So proud of our operator who is serving our community with ❤️

We will be recognizing this amazing act.

[Melissa Littlepage @TurnTheLP]

@MariManoogian Oh do not get me started on that nonsense!
